Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Help the child learn and understand how to read lips by speaking at an even rate. Avoiding using facial expressions, exaggerating pronunciation of words, and repeating in exactly the same way if the child does not understand interfere with the child's understanding of the spoken word.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Amblyopia, or lazy eye, is reduced visual acuity in one eye. Amblyopia is usually caused by one eye not receiving sufficient stimulation. The resulting poor vision in the affected eye can be avoided with the treatment of the primary visual defect such as strabismus. Myopia, or nearsightedness, refers to the ability to see objects clearly at close range but not a distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is the ability to see objects at a distance but not at close range. Astigmatism is unequal curvatures in refractive apparatus.
